Our Most Frequently Asked Questions:

 
 

Are Fiberglass pools are easier and faster to install

They are assembled off-site and can be installed in three to six weeks. Concrete pools take three to six months
to install and the work needs to be done in moderate weather, with ideal temperatures and without rain or snow.


Are Fiberglass pools are easier and less costly to maintain

Fiberglass pools have a gel coat that resists algae growth; this makes keeping the pool clean easier and not as costly. Vinyl liner pools need to have their liners replaced, usually between seven to eleven years, while concrete pools need to be acid-washed every few years and sometimes resurfaced. None of these tasks will be necessary with a fiberglass pool.


Are Fiberglass pools are easier and less costly to repair

Fiberglass pools have the lowest long-term maintenance costs and come with a limited lifetime warranty.


Do Fiberglass pools have non-abrasive surfaces

The gel coat of a fiberglass pool does more than resist algae growth—it makes it very smooth to the touch.
You won’t get scratches on your extremities as you would in a concrete pool.


Are Fiberglass pools are better for saltwater systems

Saltwater pools are a growing trend that is great for customers and the environment. But, while all saltwater pools must maintain proper water chemistry for effective sanitation and bather comfort, the systems are very hard on concrete surfaces and many concrete pool builders prohibit them. Fiberglass is the material many sea-going boats and yachts are made with

and fiberglass pools are completely saltwater friendly.


Are Building permits are easier with ICC certification

An International Code Council Evaluation Service (ICC-ES) Certification brings you one step closer to obtaining building permits for your pool. Only the highest quality products receive the ICC-ES stamp of approval.

Latham pools are among them.
